They only charged while surfaced. Also, no net weight change - see the Law of Conservation of Mass.
Chlorine was the greater threat if leakage, bilgewater, etc. got to the batteries or if a cell jar cracked and leaked acid into the bilges, particularly when submerged. The boats were very well ventilated when surfaced, partly because of the large amount of air drawn into the main induction by the diesels.

Today I was on fligh1 looking for a code. I found out a long time ago I bought EZDOK but didn't remember I had. Anyway there is a 12 dollar upgrade to v2.. Anyone recommend it?.. I think I gave up with it before but things have changed since like 64bit and a hardware upgrade..

Very early in June Carlisle (EGMC) Airport will restart passenger services.
A lot of building work has been going on at the airfield (terminal / taxiways) to facilitate this but wouldn't it be great to have this updated airport available in FS?

The B777 is firmly cemented as a favourite with several more flights in my log-book since the one above.
"Dodgy Al"...my usual flight deck outfit is shorts n t shirt but I can tell you a story of a VA Crew Member who posted his photo in our "rogues gallery" wearing full uniform! Talk about dedication.
Not sure I fancy trying the "self loading cargo" version of the B777. I want to keep it clean inside!

Sweeeeeeet looking airplane.
I saw my first up close on approach at KCCR Buchanan field, Concord. I had a great view at several angles and was very impressed...looked better in person than in photos i had seen thus far.
I hope a dev has a sim version on a drawing board somewhere.

WW2 sub batteries were simply large lead-acid batteries similar to what we use to start our automobiles but much bigger, with only one cell per jar. Mix sulphuric acid with salt water and you get chlorine gas. Also, lead-acid batteries give off hydrogen gas when charging.

Why remake it? the original film is an all time classic! Leave it well alone. I'd rather they made a film about 617 Sqns ops with the Tallboy and Grand Slam bombs against the U-boat pens and Tirpitz etc. 617 did a lot more than just the dams raid.
Looking at the model it looks good so far, Though I think the engine fire was caused by the pilot running off the runway during take off and getting some FoD in the the air intake!

I see it states that some of the materials used to make modern batteries can give off dangerous gasses if they get wet. That sounds suspiciously lit WW2 submarine technology!
I have been looking at changing my car lately. I wanted a hybrid that can take a large dog in the back. The Lexus RX looked good until I found it can only go 30 miles on electric power from its batteries. Oh hum - back to my trusty diesel and bugger the pollution!

I understand that it only provides airline traffic. Is it possible to inject GA and military aviation into it? I know you can create new traffic, but is this by using aircraft that already provided by the program or can you add aircraft?
